His first wide release under the Shoffy moniker came in February 2016 with single "Takes My Body Higher" ft. Lincoln Jesser off his EP 'conversations in the a.m.' The single spread virally and reached 46 million plays (and growing) on Spotify and 25 Million video plays on YouTube. Achieving this organically without any promotion, "Take My Body Higher" also claimed a spot on the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Charts for 20 weeks, peaking at #19.
Following this success, Shoffy released a seven-track EP titled 'somewhere between nostalgia and paradise’, and is in midst of releasing a string of singles (which will roll up into a larger project towards the end of the year) and playing live shows.

Shoffy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But she's always with another
And I know I should probably let her go
But I know if I do, she'll be back at my door, uh
She tricky, she tricky, she knows it, yeah
Her game lately ain't really fair
We're up and down like a roller coaster
What do you want from me?
I'm about to go crazy (yeah)
Tiptoeing on a tightrope
A step away from a wrong note
Oh it's tricky 'cause I want her
But she's always with another
And I know I should probably let her go
But I know if I do, she'll be back at my door
Oh it's tricky 'cause I need her
But the grass is always greener
And I know I should probably let her go
But I know if I do, she'll be back at my door
He tricky, he tricky, he's hard to read
Nothing with him's ever concrete, mmh
Every time I think we got the time
Is it a sign that we keep missin' the signs?
Now you got me acting all crazy
Thinking that you're gonna wait for me
Tiptoeing on a tightrope
A step away from a wrong note
Oh it's tricky 'cause I want her
But she's always with another
And I know I should probably let her go
But I know if I do, she'll be back at my door
Oh it's tricky (Tricky), 'cause I need her ('cause I need him)
But the grass is (but the grass is), always greener (always greener)
And I know I should probably let her go (oh)
But I know if I do, she'll be back at my door
I'm hooked on you
Oh what to do?
I know that I am falling
I'm lost for words
It's so absurd
Our kind of situation
I'm hooked on you
Oh what to do?
I know that I am falling
I'm lost for words
It's so absurd
Our kind of situation
Oh it's tricky (it's tricky) 'cause I want her (I want him)
But she's always (she's always) with another (with another)
And I know I should probably let her go (let her go)
But I know if I do she'll be back at my door
Oh it's tricky (she tricky) 'cause I need her (I need her)
But the grass (the grass is), is always greener (always greener)
And I know I should probably let her go (let her go)
But I know if I do she'll be back at my door
She's tricky, I need her
The grass is always greener
Always greener, always greener
The song "Tricky" by Shoffy featuring Sabrina Carpenter talks about a complicated relationship between two people who can't seem to get enough of each other. The lyrics describe the turmoil and confusion that one experiences when they want to let go of a partner because of their unpredictable behavior, but they keep coming back to them. The singer is aware that their partner is manipulative and plays mind games, yet they are unable to resist their charm. The phrase "Oh it's tricky" is repeated throughout the song to emphasize the difficulty of walking away from a relationship that is both emotionally exciting and draining.
The chorus reveals the contradiction in the singer's feelings for their partner. They want them, but at the same time, they know they should let them go. The grass always seems greener on the other side, and the singer is torn between being with their partner or being free from the constant emotional turmoil. The bridge reveals the state of confusion the singer is in due to the mixed signals they receive from their partner. They are constantly "tiptoeing on a tightrope" and are just "a step away from a wrong note."
Overall, the lyrics of "Tricky" are relatable to anyone who has been in a complicated relationship where they can't seem to let go of a partner even if they know it's not healthy for them.

Our relationship is uncertain and lacks stability
Every time I think we got the time
Every time I think we have a chance at a solid relationship
Is it a sign that we keep missin' the signs?
Is it a sign that we are not meant to be together and keep ignoring the warning signs?
Now you got me acting all crazy
Our situation is causing me to act irrationally
Thinking that you're gonna wait for me
I have false hope that he will wait for me
I'm hooked on you
I am addicted to your presence and attention
Oh, what to do?
I am stuck in a difficult situation and don't know what to do next
I know that I am falling
I am developing even stronger feelings for you
I'm lost for words
I am speechless and don't know what to say or do
It's so absurd, our kind of situation
Our situation is ridiculous and hard to believe
She's tricky, I need her
She is complicated, but I can't help but want her
